Description

The Cropduster, as its namesake suggests, is a plane intended to spray pesticides over a large area in a small amount of time. Pressing the action/sub-mission button will activate the plane's pesticides (although the pesticides themselves serve no real purpose). However the pesticides will cause pedestrians harm in GTA V.

Performance

The plane has a short take-off time and slow top speed which makes it unable to gain a large amount of altitude in a short period of time, and the slow rolling of the plane leaves the maneuverability much to be desired. However, the slow speed and the turning ability of the rear rudder of the plane allows it to turn far more quickly than most other "slow" planes allowing it to bank more effectively, making up for its poor maneuverability.

Like the majority of planes, it has little to no endurance and is highly susceptible to damage, and like other propeller planes, it will stall when the player attempts to fly it vertically.

Design

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

In GTA San Andreas the Cropduster closely resembles a Grumman Ag Cat Cropduster, with a partially longer wingspan and fuselage length. It most frequently spawns in gray and red.

Grand Theft Auto V

A Cropduster appears in the Trailer of Grand Theft Auto V. Unlike the previous rendition, the cropduster resembles a Stearman PT-17 with the vertical stabilizer and cowl of a Stearman 4.

This is the first airplane in GTA San Andreas to be "legally" available, since the Dodo and the Shamal in Los Santos International aren't supposed to be reachable until the player has the pilots license (But can still be entered by jumping over the airport's wall or security booth).
